LAPP WOLF HUNTERS.

Short AVorU of (lie IlratcH.
The Swedish Lapps live entirely
with, by and upon their reindeer. A
Lapp who owns a thousand deer Is a
very rich man; but, as taxes are as
sessed upon the number of deer, he Is
Inclined to underestimate his herd.

m.- iiiusl uiiiii'iiius enemy 10 uio ncnl
Is the wolf, who, If so disponed, can
kill thirty doer In a night. A band of
wolves can make a rich Lapp poor.
When the snow Is deep and soft and
It Is announced that wolf tracks linve
been seen In the neighborhood of the
deer the swiftest runners on snow
shoes prepare for an exciting clinic.
Tho wolf may have a start of n mile
or two, but the track It leaves In tho
deep, soft snow Is so prominent that
the hunters can follow it at their best
speed.
The wolf, though he may run fast,
has but slight chance of escaping the
short men who on snowshoes rush
through the wood, dart dowr steep
hills and Jump from ledges several
yards In height. Each hunter does his
best to outrun the others, for the wolf
belongs to the Lapp who strikes tho
tlrst blow. As soon as the leading
hunter Is close enough to the wolf he
gives It a heavy blow across the loins
with his strong spiked snowshoe staff.
If there are other wolves to be pur
sued, he kills it outright; if not, he
disables it and waits till all the hunt
ers arrlvo before giving tho death
stroke.
On Tipping the Hat.
Now Yorkers still cling to the an
cient custom of tipping their huts when
greeting n male friend or acquaintance.
It is a common sight to see a staid,
prosperous looking business man us ho
passes an acquaintance tipping his hat,
although the other Is alone and unac
companied by a woman. It Is tho
same after u party bus been together
somewhere, at dinner, probably, or at
the theater. You will notice that ns
one separates himself from the others
he will say good night or au revolr and
then tip his hat. Also when one man
